How Does 1984 George Orwell Form Of Government

Government exists for the people, not to control the people. After reading 1984 I had many takeaways about the book's overall meaning, strong opinions on the characters of Winston and Julia, and an overall opinion of the book. In 1984 the government, led by Big Brother, watches everything their people do and even controls their very thoughts. This form of government catches my attention because of how controlling it is over their people. Also, the government makes the citizens so clueless as to where they completely hypnotize them to agree with every single one of their ideas. The plot of the novel is both strange and original, keeping my interest throughout the book. The dynamic characters in the story help in creating an original plot.

The takeaways from the story 1984 shows how a government should not function, and how one should stand up for their beliefs. Also, 1984 demonstrates an example of an unfair and terrible government. This government is led by their leader Big Brother, who controls everyone’s thoughts in Oceania. The government also has telescreens everywhere to record every single conversation of the citizens. If the citizens say anything, and Big Brother does not like the thought, the police will come and arrest them. Oceania’s government takes control to such an extreme, that if a citizen is caught doing anything against Big Brother they will be vaporized. Oceania’s government in 1984 is an example for government officials today on how not to run a government. A government this controlling will cause many problems. Citizens will not like the government controlling their every move, possibly creating uproars and fighting between the citizens and those with political power. Furthermore, this government shows government officials today that they cannot take away a

Julia draws both a positive and negative opinion. Julia is a twenty six year old girl who falls in love with Winston. She is a likable character in the sense of doing what she believes is right, and not caring what anyone else thinks of her. She joins this group that rebels against the party with Winston although she knows it could kill her. She does not care about dying as long as she can do whatever she wants. Although these are good qualities about Julia, she also has negative qualities. It is good that she stands up for her beliefs but she also rebels just to rebel. This is difficult to understand because it is hard to relate to a character that does bad things just because it is fun. She is disconnected in the reason why they were rebelling against the government that while Winston is reading a book involving the rebellion she a falls asleep. She just wants to have the thrill of doing something that the government did not want her to do. This is a good quality if she has a valid reason for doing the stuff that she does. Unlike Julia, the main character Winston Smith portrays a strong positive opinion. Dissimilar to the other citizens of Oceania, Winston becomes more aware of what the government is doing to him. Winston rebels because he knows the government is trying to control him as he stands up for his beliefs. Winston is so persistent in his beliefs, that even with extreme torture he does
